Is your desire/addiction the web strong enough to pull you away from the information superhighway onto an exercise bike in order to keep you plugged in? The webcycle is a bicycle which controls your internet speed based upon how quickly you're...

Controlling the shutter of a camera remotely has several uses. The most important â€“ catching a photo at exactly the right time. Many top of the line digital cameras come with remotes. But what if you wanted to build one for your average...

Hereâ€™s another fantastic tutorial from our Open Source Arduino master, Matt. See all of our Arduino projects.
In the spirit of the open source gameboy (#5 on the Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web), Matt's latest project uses a few Arduino...

An infrared proximity sensor on a robot can give it â€˜eyesightâ€™ to make sense of the real world. Cory Barton has used an inexpensive Sharp distance sensor, an Arduino and the open source Processing language to build his robotics...

This is a fantastic, unique project which uses RFID tagged pictures to select and play album. The system utilizes the easy to use arduino microcontroller platform along with an RFID reader and is also ethernet enabled. See more pics and...

This incredible, RGB LED light strip allows you to address each and every LED individually, creating splendid color patters. If you were challenged by the Open Source POV Bicycle Wheel Animation project we covered last week or were thinking of...

Is there anything that the Arduino microcontroller canâ€™t do? Just look at the vast assortment of applications in Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web we've covered earlier. Here's another awesome arduino project by Hans Scharler. Hans uses an...

Cornell has released their latest batch of microcontroller electronics projects ranging from a 3D scanner to infrared laser harps. All of the projects use Atmel ATmega chips (the same chips Arduino uses) to accomplish their tasks. All 42...

Using some piezo sensors, this DIYer created some DIY midi drums for the Arduino. All it takes is a handful of the sensors and a few resistors to put together. He's already assembled the soruce code, parts kit and detailed instructions so you...

Nintendo's Wii remote (or wiimote) has proven to be an incredibly hackable device. This is mainly because of its bluetooth connectivity and assortment of sensors which make it a great interface for controlling DIY electronics projects. So, for...
